Despicable Me 3

Detestable Moi 3

The villain Balthazar Bratt, a former child star who's grown up to become obsessed with the character he played in the 80s, proves to be Gru's most formidable nemesis to date."Whenever the dialogue goes flat, look for a cut to Gru's Minions, randomly but amusingly jamming to everything from jailhouse rock to Gilbert & Sullivan."--Boston Globe."This rather clever, breakneck-paced cartoon gives fans exactly what they want: Like the new nemesis voiced by Trey Parker, it shoots mulitple machine-gun bursts of bubblegum at the audience, asking them to chew and enjoy."--Hollywood Reporter."Despicable Me 3' is unwieldy, but it mostly works, as co-directors Pierre Coffin (who also voices the Minions) and Kyle Balda never lose sight of the film's emotional center, packing the rest with as much humor as they can manage."--Variety.

Running back to the library to return such a dud. I was attracted to give a try from the first two and that this remake was to be as great. Wronnnng. The animation was nice with much improvements. The minions were still up to para. The villain was horrible the music was just synthetic "buzz"; hey even the roadwork noise is better then this...that is how great it was. I watched 15 minutes into it and could not bare it anymore.
The Bonus and cutting board images was the best to watch.

I got this because I thought it might be a funny animation movie to watch. I sometimes watch animation because it's cute with an endearing story like Coco. So sometimes I watch Tim Burton or Disney Pixar movies. But this sequel movie wasn't as funny as the earlier ones. I gave up watching it by half way through.

Nice soundtrack of retro music and tacky New Wave fashions but the Minions aren't as funny as they once were, the cuteness factor is stifling (Gru's three adopted daughters are just too precious), and it's all been done before in parts one and two. Time to put this franchise to bed.

Okay, and not so great. Unless the next one is brilliant, and we all know that there will be another, this franchise has run its course with #3. Maybe subtitles for the Minions would make it funnier, and LOSE all the pop songs that jumped out of nowhere for no reason. They didn't help and were annoying! I guess these days when you run the idea well dry, lame pop songs help fill the void????

It was kind of a meh. It feels as if movie makers are running out of ideas now and just spinning off of what already exists. Despicable Me 3 and 2 weren't nearly as good as the first movie. The other movie, Minions, also had it's humor, but still didn't match up to the first Despicable Me. Not my favorite movie.

I really liked the first movie, but for me this movie series has become a little stale. I found the minions really fresh and funny in the first movie, and OK in the second movie, but now I'm finding they have become tedious, annoying and predictable. Overall the movie was OK, and if you liked the first two you will probably like this one, but the whole thing seemed like a tired cash-grab.

My partner and I found this to be better than the second one, but not as good as the first DM.
Cute, as always, the children are nicely portrayed and the story with an unknown family member makes this film that much better.
Good Special Features especially, the 6 minute "The Making of DM3."
